Re: [cobalt-users] .htaccess yet again

["Edward Bishop" <eddie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you Gerald and Dan for the confirmation and very useful
reference. For the sake of anyone in my position in the future I'll
mention onlist that what I was missing was that if you user
ErrorDocument 401 it must point to a local, *not* external document.

One more question if you'll indulge me... again, I have tried to find
it myself but it's just too confusing:

Redirection to my own 401 page is working now but after it appears the
authorization dialog box is still there in front of it; and the URL in
the browser's address bar still reads as the document in the
"forbidden" directory. I'd prefer it to just go to the 401 page and
stop.

Is this something to do with the rewrite rule for the site? Or what?

If you were searching for "authorisation" instead of authorization,
that
might have been the problem.
